IMPORTANT:
•It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video
recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any
literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied
therein.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL,
the SOUND MODE, and the DSP Surround controls. Thus,
during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually
listening to without affecting the recording level.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.

Cassettes have two small
tabs on the top to protect
from unexpected erasure or
re-recording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
